“…In this regard, all the associated costs are shared by all the participants. An assessment survey in Portugal by Correia and Viegas [128] revealed that carpooling systems can potentially reduce the number of private vehicles in urban cities. This is due to common work schedules and activity sectors of the potential participants [129].…”

Driving Behaviour and Sustainable Mobility—Policies and Approaches Revisited

Climate change is receiving increasing attention in recent years. The transportation sector contributes substantially to increased fuel consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and poor air quality, which imposes a serious respiratory health hazard. Road transport has made a significant contribution to this effect. Consequently, many countries have attempted to mitigate climate change using various strategies. This study analysed and compared the number of policies and other approaches necessary to achieve reduced fuel consumption and carbon emission. Frequency aggregation indicates that the mitigation policies associated with driving behaviours adopted to curtail this consumption and decrease hazardous emissions, as well as a safety enhancement. Furthermore, car-sharing/carpooling was the least investigated approach to establish its influence on mitigation of climate change. Additionally, the influence of such driving behaviours as acceleration/deceleration and the compliance to speed limits on each approach was discussed. Other driving behaviours, such as gear shifting, compliance to traffic laws, choice of route, and idling and braking style, were also discussed. Likewise, the influence of aggression, anxiety, and motivation on driving behaviour of motorists was highlighted. The research determined that driving behaviours can lead to new adaptive driving behaviours and, thus, cause a significant decrease of vehicle fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions.

“…Correia and Viegas [19] believe that carpooling is a mode of lower-income strata and saving money is an important reason for participating in it. They further state that this should provide a way for persons to trust and interact with other people at least with their colleagues.…”

Travelers’ attitudes toward carpooling in Lahore: motives and constraints

et al. 2017

Traffic congestion has become a critical issue in developing countries, as it tends to increase social costs in terms of travel cost and time, energy consumption and environmental degradation. With limited resources, reducing travel demand by influencing individuals' travel behavior can be a better long-term solution. To achieve this objective, alternate travel options need to be provided so that people can commute comfortably and economically. This study aims to identify key motives and constraints in the consideration of carpooling policy with the help of stated preference questionnaire survey that was conducted in Lahore City. The designed questionnaire includes respondents' socioeconomic demographics, and intentions and stated preferences on carpooling policy. Factor analysis was conducted on travelers' responses, and a structural model was developed for carpooling. Survey and modeling results reveal that social, environmental and economic benefits, disincentives on car use, preferential parking treatment for carpooling, and comfort and convenience attributes are significant determinants in promoting carpooling. However, people with strong belief in personal privacy, security, freedom in traveling and carpooling service constraints would have less potential to use the carpooling service. In addition, pro-auto and pro-carpooling attitudes, marital status, profession and travel purpose for carpooling are also underlying factors. The findings implicate that to promote carpooling policy it is required to consider appropriate incentives on this service and disincentives on use of private vehicle along with modification of people's attitudes and intentions.

“…However, research has shown that the attractiveness of carpooling has been decreasing [1] because of low fuel prices, and strong incomes [2]. The psychological barrier of riding with strangers also plays a role [3].…”

Tour Planning and Ride Matching for an Urban Social Carpooling Service

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract. SocialCar is a research project aiming at integrating carpooling with existing transportation systems in urban and peri-urban environments. The system, that also takes benefit from social network interactions, is based on tour planning and ride matching algorithms to suggest the users the available alternatives for their trips. In this paper we overview some approaches to model general public transportation networks and carpooling services. A route planning algorithm, able to integrate different types of public transportation, bike rentals and carpooling services is finally presented.
